my scariest solo run in doors

it was like 3am, headphones on, lights off, rookie mistake. i was cruising through the doors, doing fine, when i opened door 55 and the whole hallway just exhaled. that wet dripping sound. i knew seek was coming. next door the eyes start forming on the walls and then the floor drops into that endless chase corridor. im sprinting, ducking under the arms that swipe across the hall, sliding through the tight gaps, and my hands are actually shaking. i clip a pillar, lose half a second, and i can hear it right behind me. i hit the door at the end and it SLAMS shut, the music cuts, and i just sat there breathing like i ran a marathon. i have beaten seek a dozen times since but that first blind run i genuinely forgot it was a game. that is the whole magic of this place.
